That was the left handed or Cowboy bowline - but apparently it's not much weaker... and having the tail outside the loop can be helpful in some situations. I'm only an enthusiast though...
@@provide_protect I double checked it as well, and I still think you got it wrong. Take a look at this wikipedia article for example. It clearly shows that the "round the tree" should be around the long end of the rope en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowline
Bowline & Trucker’s hitch are my favorite. I need to learn that slip hitch! Nice work Cosby
Thanks, Phil!
Thanks, Phil!
Just discovered your channel. Love what you’re doing man keep it up!
Thank you very much!
cow hitch and timber hitch are my go to hitches.
Taut-line hitch is my favorite. It is very handy for so many things. Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Totally agree! Thanks

Are you sure your bowline was correct. The "go around the tree" part should go around the free rope and not around the loop part, right?
I double checked and I think I tied it correctly. But I do appreciate the comment.. it’s always good to verify!

@@VilleVaananen Thanks.. maybe there’s a couple different ways to tie it then. This is from netknots.com - www.netknots.com/download_file/465/0
You are correct. The method shown results in the Eskimo bowline (which is just as good as the normal version).
